Opinion

2:10-CV-1175 JCM (PAL).

September 7, 2010


ORDER


Presently before the court is plaintiff Eric Griffin's motion for temporary injunction, requesting protection of the United States Secret Service until the lawsuit is resolved. (Doc. #16).

A court may issue a preliminary injunction when the moving party shows: (1) a likelihood of success on the merits; (2) possibility of irreparable injury if preliminary relief is not granted; (3) balance of hardships; and (4) advancement of the public interest. Winter v. N.R.D.C., 129 S. Ct. 365, 374-76 (2008).

Here, plaintiff has not alleged an issue appropriate for resolution by a temporary injunction, nor has he met a single element of the Winter test. Specifically, plaintiff has failed to allege a likelihood of success on the merits of his claims; present evidence of irreparable injury; indicate how a balance of hardships weighs in his favor; and, finally, show how such relief is in the public interest.

Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that plaintiffs' motion for a temporary injunction (doc. #16) be, and the same hereby is, DENIED without prejudice.

DATED September 7, 2010.
